Default Wheel and tire help?

Ok, i have a 01 DL and i've been pondering on a new set of wheels and tires. Love the look of 21" front and 18" on the back. Right now i have all stock wheels. I'm kinda a DIY person... but im not too savy in this department. Is it as simple as taking the old wheels and tires off and slaping the news on? Will i need a new sprocket or pully? I heard someone say something about spacing for the front? Also, Is there a big difference (visual) in the 21x3.25 compared to the 21x2.15? Any help would be awesome. I just need someone to point me the right way.

Thanks,

If you order the correct wheels the rear one should go on and you should be able to use your stock pulley and rotor.The rear fender will accept up to a 4.5 wide
wheel. The front however may not have the space to go 3.25 wide if you are still running the narrow front forks and trees.
